Get Housing Help At Sunset Park Councilman's Office Wednesday

SUNSET PARK, BROOKLYN — People in Sunset Park who have questions or issues about housing can get free information directly from the city on Wednesday at City Councilman Carlos Menchaca's district office.

The city's Department of Housing Preservation and Development is hosting free "office hours" across the city over the summer to help people get better and direct information about housing issues.

HPD staff will take questions from both tenants and building owners. Topics include maintenance issues, code enforcement, affordable housing, foreclosures and tenant harassment.

"Every day, HPD’s Enforcement and Neighborhood Services team is out responding to complaints to help ensure the quality and safety of the city's housing," said HPD Commissioner Maria Torres-Springer said in a press release.

"Now, through our new Summer Office Hours, HPD will be coming to your neighborhood to provide valuable information and resources directly to residents."

Menchaca's office is on Fourth Avenue between 44th and 45th streets. HPD staff will be there from 9 a.m. until 6 p.m. on Wednesday.
